Tender beef tips are cooked to perfection in a rich and savory gravy, creating a comforting meal that will satisfy any meat lover. This recipe requires just a few ingredients and can be made in under an hour. Serve the beef tips and gravy over mashed potatoes or rice for a satisfying family dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef sirloin tips, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss the beef tips in the flour mixture until well coated.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the coated beef tips and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth, water, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  4. If desired, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the gravy to thicken it. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the gravy has thickened.
  5. Serve the beef tips and gravy hot over mashed potatoes or rice.

Interesting Facts

  • Beef tips are traditionally made with tender cuts of beef, such as sirloin or tenderloin.
  • This recipe can easily be adapted for a slow cooker. Simply brown the beef tips in a skillet, then transfer to a slow cooker with the remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • For extra flavor, you can add diced onions, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the gravy while it simmers.
  • Leftover beef tips and gravy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for future meals.
